This is my guess, and just a guess.

I believe Google is saying the companies will need to change the key signing so custom roms will be able to use the same one.

There will always be modders and custom roms if people could not personalize the phones there would be significantly less sales it would hurt the carrier the manufacture and google.

nah, its just some stupid crap qualcomm pulled. in order for google to publish the gnexus radios they need to license them from qualcomm... qualcomm was willing to be fair on the gsm one (more countries as its international so it had to play fair) however with cdma it decided it wantedc a bit more and bumped the charge up.. google refused to play ball so they stopped distributing the radios all together for teh cdma nexus'

changes nothing fro any other phone just means cuz qualcomm was greedy now they get no money off it. google still makes updates ofr it and still pushes out new radios just cant grab em off goog's site anymore
